The Sonosite PX stand was designed specifically for this ultrasound system. It is not compatible with other Sonosite ultrasound stands.
Sonosite PX can be used off the Sonosite PX Stand. However, we recommend use with the stand. The stand provides the adaptable work surface, Triple Transducer Connect, a selection of input/output connectors, integrated transducer holders, and many other workflow efficiency features. If you are interested in a POCUS system for hand-carrying, please speak with your Sonosite sales representative for recommendations that fit your needs.
Your Sonosite PX purchase includes the features, functions, and modes available with the system. You do not have to pick and choose options from a list other than the UX language.
Sonosite PX has integrated 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz depending upon your country bandwidth regulations. You do not have to purchase a separate plug-in module.
PowerPark for Sonosite PX will work with existing docks (the part on the floor). The part on the stand base is unique to Sonosite PX and cannot be exchanged with a similar part from another Sonosite system. PowerPark provides a convenient, central location to park the ultrasound system while it charges for cordless use. Just park, click, and charge.
Sonosite PX operating system is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC. The operating system and services are hardened. The system meets Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for Moderate security control selections per FIPS199, FIPS200, and NIST 800-53.
Sonosite PX features a touch panel and physical buttons in response to feedback from real-world clinicians during interviews and focus groups. Touch panel improvements include workflow that is grouped by use, such as patient information, worksheets, and reports; and exam types optimized with the annotations and calculations needed to perform the exam. Frequently used functions such as gain, freeze, and save are designed to be at the fingertips via physical buttons. The buttons are uniquely shaped and grouped for recognition by touch, helping clinicians to keep their eyes on the monitor and the patient.
